Primary 
still on 
schedule 


By AL POST 
ANP Staff Writer 


A brief scare that the Aug. 4 
primary in Michigan could be 
delayed- making an extremely 
confused political season even 
more confusing--was ended 
last week, when the state Su- 
preme Court issued a rare 
memorandum opinion that up- 
held the current redistricting 
map. 

A three-judge panel aban- 
doned a hurry-up schedule in 
relation to a suit filed by the 
National Association for the 
Advancement of Colored Peo- 
ple claiming the current redis- 
tricting map violated the 
Voting Rights Act. The suit 
also cited the needs for two 
more minority based districts 
that would include minorities 
in Detroit and Oakland County. 

But the “scare” would have 
created a major campaign 
problem in Romulus, where 
state Rep. Gregory E. Pitoniak, 
currently serving in the old 
29th District, is seeking the 
Democratic nomination for the 
new 22nd District covering Ro- 
mulus and Taylor. 

Pitoniak will be facing chal- 
lenger Catalina Hall of Ro- 
mulus in the August 
Democratic primary. 

If the Supreme Court had 
overturned the redistricting 
plan, Hall would have faced 
incumbent state Rep. James 
Kosteva of Canton Township, 
who currently represents the 
old 37th District that includes 
Romulus. 

Kosteva is now placed in a 
redesigned 21st District that 
includes only Canton, Be- 
lleville and Van Buren Towns- 
hip. He faces no opposition in 
the Democratic primary, but 
will face a Republican chal 
lenger in November. 

Pitoniak said Friday he was 
happy with the decision, which 
allows him to proceed with 
certainty with his campaign 
plans for re-election in the 
22nd District. 

He met Thursday night with 
Romulus City and School 
Board officials at the Days Inn 
hotel for a sensitivity session 
that was called by Pitoniak to 
acquaint him with Romulus 
concerns on a state level. 

Pitoniak admitted Friday 
morning that the stickiest is- 
sue that came up with Ro- 
mulus officials concerned 
items relating to the Tax Incre- 
ment Financing Authority. 

He admitted that the con- 
cerns were widely divergent in 
Taylor and Romulus on TIFA 
spending and he would have to 
study the issue further be- 
cause of those complexities 
and potential differences in lo- 
cal needs. 

But he did praise Romulus 
officials for their "prudent se- 
lection on TIFA” matters. 

Hall’s campaign staff also 
was pleased that the decision 
was made "since all our cam 
paign stances have been taken 
with the idea that Pitoniak will 
be our August opponent." 

Hall earlier had said she 
would have entered the race 
even if Kosteva was still the 
state representative for Ro- 
mulus, because she feels both 
Pitoniak and Kosteva come 
from a similar field on wo- 
men’s issues.

Anti-Tiger Stadium 
tax effort growing

Leukemia victim, 10, 
wins 2-day fun trip 


While Mickey Tettleton led 
the Detroit Tigers to an extra 
inning win Monday night, Mike 
Gruber and the Romulus City 
Council tossed a shutout 
against Tiger owner Thomas 
Monaghan’s bid to build a new 
stadium at taxpayers’ expense. 

Gruber, head of the Tiger 
Stadium Fan Club, suc- 
cessfully appealed to Romulus 
city officials to oppose Mon- 
aghan’s new stadium effort as 
well as Wayne County Execu- 
tive Ed McNamara’s 
restaurant-hotel tax bid to 
help pay for such a new sta- 
dium. 

Gruber is currently leading 
an effort to collect 70,000 
Wayne County residents’ signa- 
tures on petitions in order to 
place a referendum on the No- 
vember ballot that would pro- 
hibit the collection of any tax 
or fee or the issuance of any 
bonds for the construction of a 
new professional baseball sta- 
dium. 

As a prelude to his request 
Monday night, Gruber ex- 
plained the Tiger Stadium Fan 
Club, organized in 1987, is 
11,000 members strong and 
supports a major renovation of 
the existing Tiger Stadium 
rather than a new stadium. 

Gruber said, “Wayne County 
had much more pressing 
needs today than to spend hun- 
dreds of millions of dollars to 
bail out one of the richest men 
in the United States and his 
baseball empire.” 



Jimmie Raspberry 

Gruber also charged, 
“McNamara has become the 
point man for the new stadium 
effort. It would take more than 
$612 million dollars to pay 
back the projected bonds 
needed to construct a new sta- 
dium.” 

For the purposes of pushing 
the anti-new stadium referen- 
dum, Gruber has established a 
group called “Citizens Against 
Stadium Taxes” and is distrib- 
uting petitions throughout 
Wayne County. More informa- 
tion is available by writing 
Post Office Box 441426, Detroit, 
48244-1426. 

Councilman Jimmie Rasp- 
berry declared he liked base- 
ball and the Tigers- even 
though they are losing. “But I 
oppose subsidizing Detroit 
sports. I also like (Detroit 
Mayor) Coleman Young, but 
think it is time he steps down 


and gives someone else a 
chance to run the city.” 

Councilman Ellis Pen- 
nington also opposed using 
taxpayers’ money to build a 
ballfield in Detroit 

A word of caution came 
from Councilman Noah Be- 
rgeron, “I don’t want to add to 
Monaghan’s millions either, 
but do we want to lose the Ti- 
gers?” 

Bergeron continued “I don’t 
want to pay the extra tax, but I 
don’t want to lose the Tigers 
either." 

Raspberry countered, “The 
Pistons left (Detroit), the Lions 
left and despite the crocodile 
tears, we’re still here. I haven’t 
been inside Tiger stadium in 
45 years. Now ask me again 
about that tax.” 

Mayor Pro Tern Mary Ann 
Banks also opposed the sta- 
dium tax concept stating, 
“Michigan already is the high- 
est taxed state in the nation.” 

The bid to support Gruber's 
effort won a unanimous 5-0 
vote with Councilman Russell 
Lambert also backing the ef- 
fort. Two councilmen, Ran- 
dolph Gear and William 
Wadsworth, were absent from 
the meeting. 

Gruber then praised Mayor 
Beverly McAnally and the City 
Council for refusing to join 
McNamara’s “dog and pony 
show effort” on the new sta- 
dium. He said he fully ex- 
pected to get the needed 
signatures by the Aug. 11 dead- 
line. “But if we don’t we will 
set our targets on the next 
deadline, Jan. 15.”

Jason Orme, 10, who was di- 
agnosed with leukemia in Jan- 
uary 1991 had his ups and 
downs this week, but luckily it 
was at Cedar Point amusement 
park. 

Orme won first place in a re- 
cent “Hometown Kid” contest 
sponsored by the Romulus 
IGA supermarket. The second 
and third place winners were 
John Hadyniak and Kim Mie- 
ntkiewicz. 

Orme’s mother, Sandi Vlaz, 
credits his first place win to 
the support he received from 
his fellow Wick School stu- 
dents and their families. Her 
son is a 6th grade student 
there and has been on the 
honor roll four times recently. 

All three winners were 
treated to a two-day holiday at 
SeaWorld and Cedar Point this 
week compliments of the IGA 
chain. 

Since his leukemia diag- 
nosis, his mother said, Orme 
has been given chemotherapy 
treatments on an outpatient 
basis. 

Despite his medical prob- 
lems, Onne has been able to 
continue his love of sports and 
aggressive athletic activities. 
He is the pitcher for the An- 
gels in the local Little League 
and plays second base and 
shortstop in a summer softball 
league. 

Orme said his favorite ma- 
jor league baseball team is the 
Oakland A’s and one of his fa- 
vorite players is George Brett 
of the Royals. 

He also loves to collect 
baseball trading cards and 
now has more than 10,000 of 
them. The pride of his collec- 
tion is a $300 Robin Yount 
rookie card, which he found in 
a garbage bag of old cards his 
cousin had given him. 


He also has a Mickey Mantle 
card that he purchased several 
years ago for $20. 

One of Orme’s other proud 
possessions is a Honda 100 XR 
motorcycle he purchased last 
year after the local police de- 
partment conducted a 50- 50 
drawing for him. 

Orme’s dad, Walter, is a city 
Department of Public Works 
employee. His step-father is 
Dane Vlaz. 

Ron Jernigan, IGA owner, 
said about 35 youths competed 
in the contest. Shoppers were 
allowed to cast one vote for 
any candidate they wished for 
each $1 they spent at the IGA. 
Orme gained 5,347 votes, 400 
more than any of his competi- 
tors. 

Before leaving for the all- 
expenses-paid holiday, Orme 
said he was looking forward 
most to riding on the Iron 
Dragon amusement ride.

Veteran Romulus Commu- 
nity School Board member 
Kenneth Berlinn gracefully 
bowed out of his role as board 
member Monday night by urg- 
ing his fellow board members 
to continue working to "make 
the Romulus School District 
Number One in the United 
States.” 

Berlinn, 57, who failed in 
his fourth re-election bid ear- 
lier this month, wished good 
luck to Debra Hoffman, a chal- 
lenger who won a seat on the 
board, as well as all the cur- 
rent board members. 

Hoffman will assume her 
seat on the board in July. 

Berlinn, who has been on 
the school board since 1981, 
quietly told the board and 
school administrators, “As we 
all are aware, this is my last 
board meeting. I want all of 
you up here to know that it has 
been a pleasure working with 
you for the education of our 
Romulus young people. 

“We have been through a 
number of difficult times to- 
gether and also some good 
times,” he said. 

Berlinn, who has been pres- 
ident and vice president of the 
board, cited the last couple of 



Ken Berlinn 

years as the most exciting of 
his 10 years and 11 months on 
the board. “This was the time," 
he said, “when we began to 
consider the dream of going 
into the year 2000 with technol- 
ogy in education.” 

In 1990 the school board 
sought and gained voter ap 
proval for a $45 million refer- 
endum geared to advancing 
computer education programs 
throughout the entire Ro- 
mulus School system. 

Berlinn said he wants to 
stay involved in the education 


process in Romulus and would 
like to be considered when 
volunteers are needed for 
committees or team projects. 

Berlinn concluded by 
thanking those who supported 
him during his long stint on 
the school board. “You are the 
greatest friends a person could 
ask for. God bless you." 

Berlinn earlier had also 
stated that beginning the suc- 
cessful Partnership with Edu 
cation program was also one of 
his key projects. The partner 
ship program, headed by Ed 
Clark, has brought together 
Romulus business leaders, 
teachers and students in a 
unique teamwork program in 
recent years. 

Superintendent of Schools 
Dr. William Bedell praised 
Berlinn. “He is a quiet person 
who always was there when 
the community needed him. 
He did a lot outside the com- 
munity selling Romulus’ role 
on the county, state and na- 
tional level." 

Bedell continued, “He was 
one of those board members 
who superintendents love be- 
cause their instincts are al- 
ways positive. The community 
and I will miss him. But thank 
goodness he is willing to re- 
main here as a volunteer.” 


State buys city property 


The state of Michigan re- 
quest to buy five parcels of 
land owned by the city’ of Ro- 
mulus for a total of $35,025 was 
approved by members of the 
city council Monday night. 

The state is purchasing the 
properties in the Middlebelt 
and Garner Street area to 


make a major redesign of the 
access ramps there for the I 94 
roadway’s. 

The parcels range in price 
from $125 to $20,000 The sale 
earlier had been recom- 
mended by the city Property 
Disposition Committee and 
was approved by a unanimous 


5-0 vote. 

In a separate transaction, 
the city sold a city owned 
homesite on Border Street, a 
private street, to Mark S. 
Ghoiston of Belleville for 
$1000 with the stipulation that 
a home be constructed on the 
property’ within two years.

2 area preps named to All-Star football lineup 

Hister, Hagelthorn make East Division team 


By TOM MOORADIAN 
ANP Staff Writer 


Two local high school stars, 
who ended brilliant football 
careers in June, were named 
last week to play in the Michi- 
gan High School East- West 
All-Star Football Classic. 

The game, sponsored by the 
Michigan High School Foot- 
ball Coaches Association, will 
be staged 1:30 p.m. Aug. 1 in 
Spartan Stadium at Michigan 
State University in East Lans- 
ing. 

The local stars, both All- 
State and All-Area nominees, 
are Leon Hister and Jason 
Hagelthorn. 

Hister is a 5-10, 185-pound 
tailback who hails from Plym- 
outh Salem. The outstanding 


First promote high school football in the state 
of Michigan and, secondly, generate money 
for the MHSFCA scholarship fund. 

- coaches' association 


running back was coached by 
Tom Moshimer. 

Hagelthorn is a 6-3, 236- 
pound two-way tackle who was 
a sterling performer for the 
Rockets at Westland John 
Glenn. During his four-year 
varsity career, Hagelthorn was 
coached by Chuck Gordon. 

Both Hagelthorn and Hister 
have full-ride athletic college 


scholarships. 

Launched in 1981 by the 
MHSAA football coaches, the 
All-Star game has turned into 
a summer classic that features 
some of the top prep football 
talent in the state and also the 
future stars of the collegiate 
gridiron. 

According to the coaches’ 
association, the purpose of the 


game is, “First promote high 
school football in the state of 
Michigan and, secondly, gener- 
ate money for the MHSFCA 
scholarship fund.” 

Last year, the West edged its 
counterparts from the East, 
15-12. However, the East has 
won six of the 11 times the se- 
ries has been conducted. 

Each division will have 44 
players in their respective 
lineup. All- Stars are nomi- 
nated by high school coaches 
who are affiliated with the 
MHSFC. If a player is selected 
to participate in the All-Star 
Game, he is then contacted to 
see if he wants to participate. 
Since the inception 11 years 
ago, 95 percent of all players 
who have been nominated 
have agreed to compete in the 



Leon Hister 

classic. 

This year, the classic is also 
sponsored by General Motors 
Parts, General Motors Corpo- 
ration, Pontiac Division, Old- 
smobile Division, Buick 


Jason Hagelthorn 

Division, Little Caesar’s, Lazy 
Boy, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, 
and the Farm Bureau. 

Tickets may be purchased at 
the gate on the day of the 
game. They are priced at $6. 



State champs

Canton sets dates 
for tennis tourney 


Canton 
skater 
to tour 
Russia 

A Canton Township skater 
will make history this month 
when she travels to Russia to 
compete in the first American- 
Russian women’s hockey tour- 
nament. 

Stacy Churhan is one of two 
young area skaters who were 
included in the 18-women ros- 
ter that will represented the 
United States. 

The All-Star women’s team 
will gather in St. Petersburg, 
previously known as 
Leningrad, to compete against 
teams representing Russia, the 
Ukraine, Finland, Estonia, and 
Latvia. 

It is the first time in Russian 
history that a women’s ice 
hockey tournament involving 
foreign teams is being staged. 
The tournament was sched- 
uled to get under way on June 
20 and will continue until a 
champion is crowned June 27. 

Stacy is a student at the Uni- 
versity of Liggett School. 

According to the tourna- 
ment organizers, “This is an 
historic event which devel- 
oped after visiting Russian 
hockey officials observed a 
game between the Michigan 
Capitals Midgets and the 
Metro Jets Senior B team in 
March. 

At that time, the official, 
Leonid Mikhno, president of 
the St. Petersburg’s Club 
Troika and an official with the 
Red Army Hockey Organiza- 
tion, vowed to start and pro- 
mote organized women’s ice 
hockey in the USSR.” 

The White Nights Tourna- 
ment is the direct result of the 
commitment. The name stems 
from the fact that during the 
latter part of June, there is “no 
night” or darkness in St. Pe-

Nationals next 


Inkster sprinter continues to shine 


Overcoming an injury to her leg and battling 
the elements, Inkster High sophomore Charnell 
Lynn continued to sparkle in the sprints. 

Lynn, one of the upcoming young sprinters in 
the state, captured a gold medal in the 400 
meters on Saturday in a state-qualifying Region 
V meet. She dashed to a 1:00 flat finish to easily 
win the event. 

The victory will place the Inkster speedster 
in the national regionals to be staged July 11-12. 
She will be competing against athletes from In- 
diana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan and 
Ohio. 

“Lately, she has been hampered with that 
injury,” said Keith Bailey, Inkster Track Club 
coach. “But she is coming around. She’s about 
90 percent well right now.” 

Bailey took 24 athletes to the state meet 
staged at Ypsilanti Lincoln High School. The 
Inkster coach said that the track conditions 
were unbearable “because of the cold and the 
icy winds.” 

The Inkster Track Club also picked up a first- 
place medal thanks to the efforts of its 400-

meter relay team. The foursome of Ellissia 
Johnson, Lynn, Rameka Gibson and Kateisha 
Frazier coasted to a 51.3 and the gold. 

“We beat some good people,” Bailey said. 
“Our kids looked good.” 

Gibson brought home a bronze medal for her 
efforts in the long jump. She leaped 14 feet, 7 
inches. She also finished sixth in the 100 meter 
dash with a 13.3. Teammate Frazier was third in 
that event with a 13.1. 

Bailey, and assistant coaches AI Wagner and 
Arnett Gipsom, plan to take their team to Dr. 
Martin Luther King Jr. High School on Saturday 
to compete in the Motor City Classic. 


Romulus coach says ’92 
was ‘a turnaround’ year 


With their first winning record since 1985 
behind them, Romulus coach Don Foley is look- 
ing to the future and seeing the proverbial light 
at the end of the tunnel. 

“This is the first time since 1985 that our 
varsity team has posted a winning season,” said 
Foley, reflecting on the 13-10 won-lost season. “I 
am pleased with the overall effort this year, 
especially since the kids went 7-2 during the 
last two weeks of the season.” 

Foley, who completed his third year as head 
coach, said he looked at 1992 as a turnaround 
year for the team. 

“I feel we turned the corner with our pro- 
gram. We had only four returning lettermen 
back this year and managed to come up with a 
better than .500 record. Next year we will have 
the nucleus to field a very competitive team,” 
Foley believes. 

The Eagles wrapped up the season by split- 
ting a twin bill with former conference rival, 
Ann Arbor Pioneer. Romulus won the opener 
7-3 thanks to Ron Yount’s three-hit pitching per- 
formance. They dropped the nightcap 164 as 
the Pioneers exploded in the late innings to 
runaway with the decision. 

Foley and the Eagles brought the curtains 
down on the 1992 campaign by sweeping both 
ends of a doubleheader from neighboring New 
Boston Huron. 

Senior right-hander Jim Dufore scattered 
eight hits to pick up a 13-7 victory. In the second 


game, Bob Bergeron went the distance to chalk 
up his first win of the season, 6 2. Bergeron 
notched nine strikeouts and walked three in 
hurling a five-hitter. 

Loser Eric Gumtow also tossed a five-hitter. 

In that first game, junior catcher Michael 
Grube hammered his first grand slam homer, 
the blast coming off of Huron hurler Jason 
Trombly with Mark Harden, John Toliver and 
Mike Barwikowski aboard. 

In the victory over Pioneer, Romulus’ junior 
right-hander Ron Yount had a shutout going for 
him until the top of the sixth when Ann Arbor 
came back and scored two runs. The Eagles 
tallied three in the same inning to give Yount a 
7-2 cushion entering the final stanza. 

Yount helped his own cause with a double 
and a homer in the second inning with Mike 
Barwikowski aboard. 

Chris Evans also collected three hits, includ- 
ing a solo HR, for the winners. 

In the nightcap, Foley started Brian Bar- 
tholomew who lasted four innings and gave up 
10 of the 16 runs. 

The Eagles tied the game at three-all in the 
bottom of the first thanks to singles by Don 
Zemke, Joe Kusibab and Rick Luczak and walks 
to Tim Howell and Dudonis. 

Dudonis set a school record in the fourth 
when he laced one over the Pioneer fence for 
his sixth homer of the season. 


Tae Kwon Do 

Local athletes claim share of medals 


More than 100 Tae Kwon Do specialists con 
verged upon the Marriott Hotel in Romulus re 
cently to participate in the 1992 Michigan AAL’ 
Tae Kwon Do championships. 

The championships were promoted by Black 
Belt Carl Tate of Inkster, who sen es as the state 
chairman in the sport. 

Tae Kwon Do, the Korean answer to the Ja 
panese art of self-defense known as karate, will 
be an exhibition sport at the Olympic Games in 
Spain. 

“We had people from all parts of the United 
States and Canada competing in this touma 
ment," said Tate, who has earned the title of 
•master” of the sport. *i felt that our local par- 
ticipants fared well. 

“The only negative aspect of this is that there 
was not too much publicity given to the tourna- 
ment. and that is unfortunate considering New 
York. Iowa Ohio, Michigan, and Windsor, Ont 


were represented.*’ 

Tate was elected the state chairman of the 
Michigan Taekwondo Association. His cousin, 
Gregory Hill, also of Inkster, was picked to 
sene as vice chairman. 

Other officers include area coordinators: 
Samuel Doyle, Rob Torp, Richard Wheeler, 
along with Douglas Bourgeois, state arbitrator, 
and Belinda Holliday, secretary' treasurer. 

Local and area competitors earned their 
share of medals: In the Beginner’s Division • 
Todd Latz placed first and Robert Strong was 
runner up for 17 and 18 year olds; In the manda- 
tory’ forms division Clifton Edwards placed 
first second and third were Jeremy McKinney 
and Robert McKinney, respectively, for 6, 7, and 
8-year olds. 

James Haley earned a gold medal and Tony

By AL POST 
ANP Staff Writer 


A loud cannon blast will 
sound at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, 
July 4 marking the official ded- 
ication of the long-awaited 
$35,000 Romulus Veterans Me- 
morial on the Wayne Road 
side of Romulus City Hall. 

Bill Crane, a Rotarian and 
Chamber of Commerce direc- 
tor, who has been the driving 
force behind the volunteer 
project, will discharge the 
miniature Michigan-made can 
non. On hand also will be 
many members of the Romulus 
Rotary Club, the official spon- 
sor of the memorial effort. 

At least 240 of the planned 
1,000 bronze colored bricks in- 
stalled in and around the mon- 
ument have already been sold 
and designated to honor Ro- 
mulus area veterans, both 
alive and dead, and their sup- 
porters, Crane said. 

Bricks bearing the names of 
veterans of any United States 
war or military engagement 
were installed in the base of 
the actual monument, Crane 
explained. 

Bricks bearing the names of 
other persons are being 
placed in the walkway sur- 
rounding the monument. 

The monument will also 
bear numerous medallions cit 
ing all five branches of the U.S. 
armed forces, local Veterans of 
Foreign Wars Posts 1869 and 
9568, Mayor Beverly McAnally 
and the city council members, 
the Romulus Rotary Club and 
numerous other civic organiza- 
tions. 

The modernistic-style mon- 
ument will be illuminated by 


seven fixtures at night. Crane 
said. 

A separate light will be fo- 
cused on each of the three flag 
poles bearing flags of the 
United States, state of Michi 
gan and city of Romulus. 

Two other pairs of lights 
will illuminate both sides of 
the monument. 

Volunteers also dug up the 
Sesquicentennial capsule 
originally buried in 1985 and 
reburied it in front of the 
hedge row. The capsule bear- 
ing numerbfrs' mefoentoes 
from the 1985 era will be iden- 
tified with a granite and 
bronze marker. It is scheduled 
to be officially unearthed in 
the year 2035. 

Eighty flats of flowers and 
ornamental shrubs will be 
planted around the monument 
and new sod will be installed 
in the immediate surrounding 
area. 

Members of the Romulus 
Junior and Senior high school 
bands will perform during the 
half hour dedication program 
on July 4. Also participating 
will be McAnally and Council- 
man Randolph Gear, who was 
mayor pro tern at the initiation 
of the project, the Rev. J.D. 
Landis of the Community 
United Methodist Church, the 
Rev. Charles P. Woolridge of 
the First Baptist Church as 
well as Crane and other pro- 
ject activists. 

Assisting in the project 
were Rotarian and Veteran of 
Foreign Wars members includ- 
ing Bill Wrijil, Bill Crovas, 
Cass Kasterek, Delton Block, 
J.R. Whaley and David Mc- 
Crory. Dadsons Electric Co. 
also donated free labor at the 
site, Crane said.

City wins assessment case 


By AL POST 
ANP Staff Writer 


The authority of the City of 
Romulus to assess taxes on 350 
acres of unused farmland 
owned by Wayne County was 
upheld last week by the Michi- 
gan Tax Tribunal in Lansing 
and may lead to sorely needed 
new housing construction in 
Romulus, a city official said 
Thursday. 

The farmland, formerly 
used to raise food for the 
Wayne County General Hospi- 
tal, is located in the southwest 
area of Van Bom and Merri- 
man roads. 

For six years, Wayne County 
rented out the land to a private 
farming operation which 
ceased operations there in 
1986. Since then the land has 
remained unused. 

Romulus City Assessor Mat- 
thew Raftary said that the city 
began assessing the property 
in 1984, long after the county 
stopped using the site for pro- 
ducing the bulk of the food 


consumed at the local hospital 
in the 1950s. 

Raftary' said in addition to 
adding revenue to local gov- 
ernment coffers, a second rea- 
son for the assessment plan 
was to encourage Wayne 
County’ to sell the land to a pri- 
vate party. 

The property is zoned 
single-family residential. Raf- 
tary said, and in addition to 
residential homes the city 
hopes that recreation and 
commercial establishments 
can be established there. 

Currently Wayne County 
pays about $40,000 in taxes on 
the property with about 
$27,700 going to the Romulus 
School District, $6,000 to the 
City of Romulus and the re- 
mainder to other taxing 
bodies. 

The Tax Tribual declared, 
“Wayne County claims that the 
fact that it owns the property 
constitutes a public purpose. 
We reject that contention.” 

The tribunal opinion fur- 
ther stated, “The Michigan Su- 


preme Court settled this issue 
long ago in two cases involving 
exemption statutes very simi- 
lar” to this case. 

“The court held that not 
only is the public purpose cri- 
teria controlling for public 
subdivisions seeking exemp- 
tions. but the exempt property- 
must be presently used for a 
public purpose, not merely 
held for a future intended pub- 
lic purpose. 

“Even if (Wayne County) had 
claimed a valid public pur- 
pose was being (accomplished) 
by the (holding of) property’, it 
is unlikely that we would find 
any public benefit is derived 
from the county holding the 
large tracts of fallow farm line 
and denying the public access 
to that land.” 

The opinion concluded, 
“Wayne County admits that no 
public purpose is served by 
the subject property, other 
than the fact that it is owned 
by the county. This is clearly 
not enough. The petitioner is 
not entitled to an exemption.” 


Firefighter tax hike looms 


By AL POST 
ANP Staff Writer 


The language for a pro- 
posed Romulus Fire Depart- 
ment 2-mill tax hike was 
approved Monday night, but 
the date that voters will be 
given a chance to cast their 
verdict on the request remains 
an unclear. 

Council members approved 
the millage referendum May 4, 
but the language of the pro- 
posal must be approved by the 
state attorney general’s office, 
be signed by Gov. John Engler 
and then be submitted to 
Wayne County for inclusion on 
a specified ballot. 

City Clerk Linda Choate told 
council members Monday 


night that they had until Aug. 
25 to place the millage ques- 
tion on the November ballot. 
Or, Choate explained, the fire 
department could wait until 
the March election. 

As there was no representa- 
tive of the local firefighters 
present at the meeting and 
Councilman Russell Lambert, 
who was assigned to monitor 
the firefighter’s millage plan- 
ning sessions said he was 
unaware of a specific date fire- 
fighters had targeted for the 
tax question, the language was 
approved by council members 
without a voting day listed. 

The approved ballot lan- 
guage states: “In order to pro- 
vide funds for the operation 
and maintenance of the fire 


department, shall the city of 
Romulus amend the charter to 
raise a tax limitation that may 
be imposed for all purposes 
upon property in the city of 
Romulus, Wayne County, Mic- 
igan, by no more than 2 mills 
($2 for each $1,000) of state 
equalized value for all prop- 
erty within the city to solely 
provide funds for the opera- 
tion and maintenance of the 
fire department?” 

There was discussion at the 
meeting that firefighters may 
want to delay the question, as 
voters are now in a “bite the 
bullet” mode. It was suggested 
that the question be placed on 
a special election ballot next 
spring that will not contain 
other issues. 


First of 60 homes up for sale 


With the first of 60 homes 
already completed in the 
Fourth Street and Beverly 
Road area, residential build 
ing contractor Bob Taepke 
said his firm is prepared to go 
the extra mile to have a quality 
neighborhood constructed in 
Romulus. 

Considering the housing 
development chance offered 
to him by the city of Romulus 
“a first class opportunity”, 
Taepke said the current home 
constructed has three bed- 
rooms, a complete kitchen and 
1,040 square feet of interior 
space. It is already for sale 


priced at $67,500. 

While the almond-colored 
house has no basement, Tae 
pke said, a garage can be 
added if the owner desires. It 
sits on a 75 foot property and 
falls in the Cory Elementary 
School District 

If, however, a large number 
of grade-school children move 
into that area, school officials 
said some students could be 
transferred to either Wick or 
Hale-Creek elementary 
schools. 

Taepke’s family has been in 
business since 1926. The New 
Boston said the current lots 


available range from 75 to 150 
feet and the homes are of mul- 
tiple styles and varieties. 

A field office will be estab- 
lished at the site by mid-July, 
Taepke said, and homes will 
become available within 90 to 
120 days after an agreement is 
reached. 

Taepke is hosting a seminar 
this Saturday (see related item 
in the Romulus Digest on page 

3). 

Taepke hopes to have all the 
60 potential homesites sold 
and occupied within four 
years, he said. 


Public hearing on drain asked 


By AL POST 
ANP Staff Writer 


Members of the Romulus 
City Council are recommend- 
ing that the Wayne County 
Drain Commissioner schedule 
a public hearing on a Traux 
drain enclosure proposal that 
could cost $830,000. 

Residents of the Applewood 
and Meadowdale subdivisions 
reportedly petitioned the city 
in the past year to have the 
county enclose the Truax 
drain which is currently filled 


with heavy vegetation and 
stagnant water. 

Residents in the past have 
complained to the city about 
mosquitoes, snakes and other 
small animals inhabitating the 
drain. 

Since the cost of the drain 
improvements would be pas- 
sed on to the homeowners via 
a special assessment, the city 
arranged to have an engi- 
neering study done on the pro- 
ject 

The $830,000 cost figure was 
given by Orchard, Hiltz and 


McCliment Inc., a consulting 
engineer firm hired by the city, 
and raised concerns that the 
cost was more than residents 
could afford to pay. 

Dennis Oakes, Romulus 
community development di- 
rector, said the city feels it 
might be better for the county 
to clean out the drain rather 
than enclose it 

But prior to that, the city is 
recommending that a public 
hearing of affected homeo- 
wners be scheduled to obtain 
views on the drain needs. 


Merriman to be widened 


An effort to relieve the traf- 
fic bottleneck around Metro 
Airport will begin soon with 
the widening of Merriman 
Road to five lanes between 
Ecorse and Van Bom Roads. 

Wayne County Commis- 
sioner Bryan Amann revealed 
that county commissioners 
voted June 18 to provide com 
pensation totaling $36,800 to 
buy the necessary easement 


rights from the adjoining prop- 
erty owners. 

“This will make travel much 
more convenient for those liv- 
ing around and using the air- 
port,” Amann said, “and the 
improvements should also 
stop flood waters from cover- 
ing Merriman at Beverly Road, 
which has been a traffic haz- 
ard for years.” 

Amann said. “This is the 


last hurdle to beginning con- 
struction. The remaining tech- 
nical and legal work will be 
completed this summer,” he 
said, “and the construction 
should be completed by spring 
of 1993.” 

He concluded “I’m certain 
the residents of Romulus, 
Wayne and Westland will be 
pleased with the completed 
project.” 


Summer means work for resident 


By JOAN DYER-ZINNER 
Belleville City Editor 

While most people expect a 
break from work in the sum 
mer, Sharon Gebo takes on a 
summertime job every year. 

A park attendant at the De 
partment of Natural Re 
sources DNR dock in Van 
Buren Township. Gebo looks 
forward to days in the sun each 
summer as she performs her 
work. 

“I like to keep busy, so 1 
don't stay in the booth all the 
time I go around the park and 
clean up when I'm not collect 


ing fees.” Gebo said “I’ve 
worked at the DNR dock for 
three summers and I really 
like it. I enjoy meeting people 
and I find that most of them 
are friendly. Many of them re- 
member me from past years.” 

Gebo takes pride in keeping 
the facility spick and span dur 
ing her working hours. 

“If people come here and 
find that the park isn’t clean, 
they won't be back, and we 
want them to continue to come 
here,” Gebo said. “It's a beauti- 
ful park and the view of the 
lake is wonderful from the 
shore It's a pretty place to 


work. Just look around, every 
thing is clean and nice here.” 

Gebo enjoys the outdoor 
life, and appreciates the op- 
portunity to obtain a suntan on 
the job. 

“I tried to work in the win- 
ter. but I hated to drive on the 
icy roads Now, I just work in 
the summertime,” Gebo said 
Gebo said the DNR hires 
students and older indviduals 
to provide summer help dur 
ing the boating season 

The facility on Huron River 
Drive is open from 7 a m until 
10 p m seven days a week 
through the boating season

Helping 

Lions’ contributions aid 
center for blind children 


By JOAN DYER-ZINNER 
Belleville City Editor 


A unique center for blind 
children is partially funded by 
dollars that are dropped into 
Lions Club canisters. 

“About 30 percent of the 
program is funded through Li 
ons Clubs in two local dis- 
tricts,” said Bob Cook, a 
member of the Belleville Li- 
ons Club and a Penrickton 
Center for Blind Children 
board member. “There are 100 
or more clubs in the districts 
11A-1 and 11A-2, and some of 
the donations that they receive 
from the annual White Cane 
and candy cane sales are ear- 
marked for the Penrickton 
Center.” 

Cook noted that the private, 
non-profit residential and day 
care center serves blind chil- 
dren with multiple handicaps. 
No fees are charged and finan- 
cial support comes from the 
Lions plus individual and cor- 
porate donations arid founda- 
tion allocations. 

“This truly is a unique cen- 
ter. In fact, it is the only one in 
the country,” Cook said. 

The center was established 
in 1952 by three families - the 
Penmans, Rickers and Wiggin- 


tons - and the Taylor Lions 
Club as a day nursery for blind 
pre-schoolers because no pro- 
gram existed to serve them. 
The name of the center is de- 
rived from the names of the 
three families. 

In the past 40 years, Pen- 
rickton Center has changed to 
meet the needs of the commu- 
nity. Currently, it specializes in 
treating blind children ages 
one to 12 with at least one ad- 
ditional handicap, such as 
deafness, cerebral palsy, brain 
damage, emotional distur- 
bance or mental retardation, 
Cook said. 

Most of the children stay at 
the center from Sunday night 
through Friday and return 
home for weekends and holi- 
days. 

The center provides the fol- 
lowing services to children 
and their families: 

• Occupational therapy, 

• Nursing 

• Developmental program- 
ming 

• Social work 

• Dance and music therapy 

• Training in self-care skills 
(dressing, eating and groom- 
ing) plus motor skills, language 
skills plus public education 
programs. 


Warm weather means 
tornado season 


By JOAN DYER-ZINNER 
Belleville City Editor 


While warm weather is wel- 
comed by area residents, the 
arrival of balmy temperatures 
also herald the peak of the tor- 
nado season. 

“At the same time that we 
are welcoming the warm 
weather, we must be prepared 
for the tornado season and 
take precautions to minimize 
the possible risks associated 
with tornadoes, especially now 
through the end of July,” said 
Van Buren Township Public 
Safety Director Mark Perkins. 

“Most tornadoes occur dur- 
ing the mid-afternoon or early 
evening period, but they can 
occur at any time of the day,” 
said Perkins, noting that the 
months of April through July 
are the times when tornadoes 
more frequently occur. 

“Twenty-five tornadoes 
were reported in Wayne 
County between 1950 and 1991. 
Only Lenawee County with 27 
tornado reports and Genesee 
County with 26 have recorded 
higher totals in the state,” 
Perkins said. “A tornado is na- 
ture’s most violent storm. Se- 
vere damage can be done by 
winds of 100 to 200 miles per 
hour and by the hail that often 
accompanies it. Injuries and 
deaths also can result from fly- 
ing debris resulting from the 
high winds.” 

The public safety director 
said residents should become 
aware of the differences bet- 
ween a tornado watch and a 
tornado warning and the steps 
to take when one or the other 
is announced. 

“When a tornado watch is 
announced, it means that con- 
ditions are right for the devel- 
opment of a tornado. At this 
time, residents should stay 


tuned to a local radio or televi- 
sion station for further an- 
nouncements and gather a 
first aid kit, flashlight and a 
portable radio plus additional 
batteries,” Perkins said. “A 
tornado warning means that a 
tornado has actually been 
sighted nearby. When a warn- 
ing is announced, residents 
should seek shelter imme- 
diately either in a basement or 
in a small room or closet on 
the lowest floor.” 

Tornadoes generally de- 
velop from severe thunder 
storms, according to the 
Michigan Committee for Se- 
vere Weather Awareness. 
Twisters are more likely to oc- 
cur when there is unseasona- 
bly warm and humid air on the 
surface of the earth and cold 
air at middle atmospheric 
levels and strong upper-level 
jet stream winds. 

If a tornado threatens, stay 
away from doors, windows and 
outside walls.

Opinion 


Prevailing wage 
could prove costly 

Apparently, some people still haven’t gotten the mes- 
sage voters attempted to send so loudly during recent elec- 
tions. 

The people who pay taxes and place the mantle of re- 
sponsibility for government spending on the shoulders of 
elected delegates are more than a bit weary of any irre- 
sponsible or ill-judged decisions. They are demanding ac- 
countability and a degree of reasonableness not known in 
this country in decades. 

Elected officials in Wayne would do well to heed that 
message. 

While attempting to respond to the “suggestion" of pow- 
erful unions who spend obscene amounts of money to help 
elect candidates who favor their positions, some Wayne 
council members may have irked the very people they, and 
those unions, purport to represent. 

The issue is the proposal under discussion in Wayne 
which would require that all contractors submitting bids 
for city contracts subscribe to the “prevailing wage” paid 
to their workers. That is, in most cases, a euphemism for 
doing business only with union shops or those paying 
union wages. 

Proponents of the measure argue effectively that this 
will preserve jobs for union members and prevent the loss 
of employment to those union brothers and sisters who 
deserve to be represented against their oppressive and 
unethical employers who would underpay and mistreat 
them without such intervention. They claim this is the 
American way. 

We say phooey. 

We have seen the figures prepared by the city offices 
which clearly demonstrate the increased costs of nearly 
every city service. Who will pay for this? We think we 
know. It will be the taxpayer who will then demand to 
know why other city services must be cut in order to pay 
more for these contracted jobs. How many unionized po- 
lice officers will have to be cut from the force to fund the 
; sidewalk repair program? How many firefighters will be 
laid off because members of the city council chose to pay 
■ more than necessary for building repairs or construction? 

Do these council members really think voters will stand 
for this? We think not. We do not consider this the Ameri- 
can way at all. 

The American way is a fair days work for a fair days pay. 
The American way is allowing anyone of any race, creed or 
color to have a fair chance at starting a business of their 
own and remaining in business, providing they are doing a 
good job. 

The American way is not to control small businessmen 
who depend on city contracts for their livelihood. This 
prevailing wage proposal will place the unions in the very 
position they claim oppressive to their members-that is 
one of controlling, unfairly, wages and methods of doing 
business. We feel, frankly, this may border on a restraint of 
trade. 

Small businessmen, who now provide nearly 90 percent 
of the jobs in this state, despite what autoworkers may 
think, deserve an opportunity to continue to take the risks 
and bear the responsibilities and jeapordy involved in 
business ownership. They do not deserve to be at the 
mercy of the same type of bargaining as do the automakers 
or large corporations. 

While we are certainly not for the abolition of unions 
and support many of them in their efforts and their pur- 
pose, we feel that this proposal will prove detrimental to 
; all involved. 

Unions serve a viable purpose in this country and many 
workers owe their jobs and their employment to them. But 
they cannot be allowed to become the very entity they 
were formed against. They cannot be allowed to under- 
mine the very system they were designed to protect. 

We strongly urge the members of the Wayne City Coun- 
cil, no matter what campaign debts they may owe to their 
union contributors, to think long and carefully about this 
legislation. 

Voters are already angry and watchful. This could, in- 
deed, become a prevailing rage.

payers to work at the Friend- 
ship Center, and while on the 
payroll, were doing school 
business, at the same time. 
How many lunches can one 
person eat a day? 

Lunch hour you say when 
you were destroying a man’s 
career of almost 30 years. I 
don’t think so. Mayor (Robert) 
Thomas should help YOU re- 
tire, as you helped Dr. O’Neill. 

It’s time the council and 
mayor listen to the voters, 
which include senior citizens 
of Westland. Election time will 
come upon us very soon. New 
faces will then be seen. The 
only “power” is that of the vo- 
ter. We will not be fooled any 
more. 

Let us regain our pride and 
dignity that you have tried to 
destroy along with others.

Lack of patriotism 
is criticized 

To the editor: 

We attended the parade this 
morning on Wayne Road, near 
Cherry Hill Road. We were re- 
ally dismayed by the lack of 
enthusiasm on the part of the 
people. When soldiers 
marched by first in line, peo- 
ple did not even clap. Veterans 
in wheelchairs gave their all. 
We clapped, but there weren’t 
many others. 

Of course, when the antique 
cars with V.F.W. drivers went 
by, there was a small spark of 
life. Then when the noisy fire 
truck came by, with the neat 
little truck, there was a lot 
more clapping. The loud horns 
evidently woke up some 
sleepers or dated humans. 

I just heard on the televison 
that the Manhattan Memorial 
Day Parade was cancelled, 
due to lack of interest It star 
ted in 1919. 


are really glad we have 
D.A.R.E. because if we have 
D.A.R.E., some of the street 
drugs might stop being used. 

D.A.R.E. has taught us what 
the consequences od using 
drugs are. There can b£“goodl 
ones or Bad ones! I D.A.R.E. 
means learning about drugs 
and how they affect your body 
and mind. Right now, kids are 
confused, but once they start 
D.A.R.E., they will understand. 
People say drugs are a way of 
life. They’re not a way of life, 
they’re a way of death. 

We would like to especially 
thank officer Donohue for 
coming to our class for 17 
weeks teaching us D.A.R.E. He 
brought us something new ev- 
ery week and was very nice to 
us. He went bike riding with us 
at Kensington Park and also 
went to the circus with us. The 
Westland Police Department 
paid for the tickets. He has 
done a lot for us. We just want 
to say again, “Thank you, offi- 
cer Donohue.”

Resident thanks 
township supervisor 

To the editor: 

A sincere thank you to Van 
Buren Township Supervisor 
(David) Jacokes, Van Buren 
Police Officer Haney and the 
34th District Work Commis- 
sioher Service Force for pick- 
ing up the debris gathered by 
me along Huron River Drive. 
Although the area beautified 
by the cleaning area belongs to 
Wayne County, they refused to 
pick it up. As a senior citizen 
and taxpayer, I appealed to Su- 
pervisor Jacokes and wish to 
publicly announce through his 
efforts the trash was disposed 
of. 

A I Duchm, Romulus 


Election proves 
voters’ power 

To the editor: 

“You can fool some of the 
people, some of the time, and 
some of the people all of the 
time, but you can’t fool all of 
the people all of the time.” 

How true those words are. 
As a senior citizen in West- 
land, I am truly sorry for all 
the hurt that has been given to 
so many people in the Wayne- 
Westland schools and for those 
of us in the city of Westland. 

Many of the people have 
said, “Sylvia Kozorosky- 
Wiacek controls the senior citi- 
zens,” and she herself has said 
that on more than one occa 
sion. 

Well, after the election on 
Monday, I guess the senior citi- 
zens in Westland, and many 
others have sent a clear mes- 
sage to Sylvia, and to any other 
elected officials. Do the job 
right, or the citizens will 
“throw the rascals out.” 

First of all, when people get 
elected, or even before they 
get elected, many promises are 
made, and then the old bug of 
“power” gets into their system, 
and they feel they can do what- 
ever they want, by threats, and 
other means of controlling 
others. 

Well get the message Sylvia, 
and others, that on last Mon 
day, those of us seniors can 
vote you out of office, because 
once we mark our absentee 
ballots, you don’t know what 
we marked, and we can con- 
tinue to go on with life, be- 
cause now you will be gone 
from office. 

Now Sylvia did do much 
good for the seniors, and 
helped in many ways to get the 
community together through 
the voice of “grey power,” until 
she began to believe she was 
above everyone else, and you 
either did what she asked, or 
as she has said to those who 
disagreed, ’’You will not be 
welcome to come back into my 
building.” 

Since when did the Friend 
ship Center become HER 
building? When she put her 
name on the sign, or put her 
name on the door, or when she 
cried her way to get a plaque 
on the wall. 

Her childish ways at meet 
ings are the very same way she 
has tried to put that non sense 
at school board meetings. 
Cry ...cry.... cry. Well we shed 
no more tears for Sylvia Had 
she just done her job. she 


LETTERS 


would still be loved by many 
people. Now she is pitied by 
those very people. 

You see, like you, we may 
smile and pretend we are sup- 
porting you, but when we mark 
the ballot, or pull the lever, we 
really are saying to you, that 
you have hurt our pride and 
dignity for the last time. You 
have treated us like children 
and idiots for the last time. 
You have made fools our of us 
for the last time. You will no 
longer threaten us or ridicule 
us. 

Your means of hurting and 
dividing the community with 
the bus issue, and having pa- 
pers all over the world laugh 
at us, as well as the other com- 
munities throughout the state, 
shake their heads because of 
your promises, and grand- 
standing for a bus that would 
no accommodate the hand- 
icapped was also in the Na- 
tional Paralyzed Veterans of 
America Newspaper, and we 
have become a community of 
shame. 

Your handling of the school 
board, and the firing, yes fir- 
ing, not retiring, of Dr. Dennis 
O’Neill, was the lowest form of 
conem for human dignity that 
you have displayed since you 
came to “power.” 

You may be a legend in your 
own mind, but you are a vi- 
cious person in the minds of 
many others. 

Your attempt to dismantle 
the senior citizens program at 
the Dyer Center in the schools, 
so you would have more con 
trol over the seniors is be 
yound anyone’s imagination, 
but again it just shows the 
greed, and contempt that you 
have for other who choose to 
disagree with you 

With the bus issue of course, 
at least four four the city coun 
cil members knew the right 
thing to do was to obey the law 
and the Americans with Dis- 
abilities Act, and not look the 
other way. 

To show up at a meeting, 
and have others say that those 
people should stay home and 
read a book, or that the lift 
gate would be too much noise, 
and all othe other things you 
urged those people to say, as 
well as all the letters that YOU 
wrote, and had others sign 
their names to, has to be the 
most abuse of office that any 
administrator has ever done to 
the public. 

I also question. Sylvia, why 
you were being paid by tax 


Let’s hope this doesn’t hap 
pen here.

teaching sorority marks silver anniversary 


June 25, 1992 


Honorary 

The Beta Sigma Chapter of 
Alpha Delta Kappa members 
celebrated the silver anniver- 
sary of the organization with a 
dinner at the First Congrega- 
tional Chuch in Wayne last 
month. 

Presently the group in 
eludes 28 members, many of 
whom either are now teaching 
or formerly taught in the 
Wayne-Westland schools. Four 
of the members, Kay Flogaus, 
Anita Henlein, Joan Watson 
and Julie Wolcott are charter 
members of the group. 

According to Henlein, the 
purpose of the group is two- 
fold. The members meet to en- 
hance their knowlege of cur- 
rent trends in education 
through sharing new ideas, 
programs and material and 
they attempt to promote pro- 
jects that will benefit children 
educationally.
